WHAT a wonderful photograph of how not to recycle rubbish (Argus Feb 18) or the mixed up thinking of whoever owns that warehouse. Either way it’s totally disheartening for all those householders who take the trouble to sort their rubbish into separate containers in the belief that they are saving the planet; a sentiment obviously not shared by the creators of that colourful pile in the picture.

The whole mess merely emphasises that financially the only real benefitionaries from domestic recycling are the manufacturers and suppliers of the various receptacles that are bought and distributed by the so called cash strapped councils. Will they ever see sense and bring back once a week refuse collections? We live in hope.
